Question about Oscar Mouse Hack
quarterback:
I just bought a never used Oscar mouse hack but as I look at it, I realize it wasn't quite what I expected.
It actually came with the optical sensors attached. Is this how Oscar mouse hacks are done? I figured it would be something I could attach to the connector coming out of my trackball, but it appears that it is acutually intended to replace the innards of my trackball.
The only problem I foresee is that the boards that the sensors are soldered onto aren't the same size or shape as those in my Betson TB.
Anyway, since oscarcontrols is "closed" right now, I can't even go online to look at what his page says about his mouse hacks. Any info from those of you who have these?
Thanks

Ah ha! :)
Well, the pictures on that page were more of what I thought an "oscar mouse interface" was like. It's hooked up to the pins coming out of the trackball whereas mine has the optical sensors attached ???

Sounds like maybe you got one (two?) of Oscar's optic boards instead of an interface.
Picture?

It's definitely a mouse hack. It just happens to have the optic boards attached.
Hold for picture.....
